Dwindling blog entries...

It's so great to be able to jot down the day, the week, the fleeting moments that pass so fast...but when there are too many, no fingers can type hard enough nor fast enough to fit it all in.

And as such, my study of the flowers is not as acute as last year. I still read the labels, but I don't monitor them as closely and I forget much more easily their names or even if they have been 'fed'.

I have embarked upon more studies, enrolled for another Japanese exam (miraculously passed the last one), have entered University again, 'playing with garbage' and of course, looking after hubby and Elbi.

Another challenge for the list is the 'October Daily' - one poem a day for the long month of November.
It worked last year, and when it comes to writing, having challenges that can be reached are important.

So, expect nothing on this blog here!! But do pop by to read a poem sometime!!

First snow of the season!!

Just spent one amazing weekend in the north enjoying some of the loveliest snow and slopes! I love winter!!!

Winter is always such a busy time - busy keeping warm, busy trying to study all sorts of things (2012 is about working the brain is oh-so-many ways), busy trying to catch as much snow as possible, busy writing a list of things we simply have to do here in Japan, just in case we do leave sometime soon.

My poetry book is selling well for Kalaweit. It's so nice to have some support for such a great cause. Now, I just have to get my act together to finish my novel for the very same great cause. Wish me luck!

Stay warm this winter!!!

My poetry book for Kalaweit.

Here are some poems (by me) together in a nice little book just in time for Christmas!
The money from the sales of this book will go into printing but also directly into KALAWEIT.
We are aiming to purchase more land in Indonesia in order to secure the forests and the habitat of many animals.
Your support and help is always appreciated!
Thank you.

October Daily

I set myself a challenge for this month....that of writing a poem each day....

Having written 23 so far and genuinely one for each day (a couple of times 2 on one day...), I am satisfied but really tired!

Next month is nanowrimo month and I will once again be writing a novel for the month of November. I thought the poetry would be an apt warm up!

So, to which corner have been disappearing? Right there...developing the facebook page and sharing poems with my friends, constantly updating the blog and letting all in sundry see the daily achievements and not writing in this blog here.

I have also been learning a lot about palm oil for some Kalaweit related work and have been working on the Kalaweit In Japan facebook page too, trying to raise awareness here about the use of palm oil.

The latest poem is about just that.


My Writing World - Leonora Sophie (my facebook page)




Fires burn
Fires burn
Nobody cares
Nobody learns

Smoke, no fire
Forests burn
I’ve no desire
To understand and learn

I need soap
I need food
Green doesn’t matter
Feed my greed

Animal’s homes
Natures beauty
Not for me
I’m not guilty.

Productivity

Well, this week was about getting things off the ground.

I have done this in many ways.

Burning the midnight oil is one.
Creating a Facebook page is another.

To be honest, Facebook promotion is the scariest of all. Showing any work I have done leaves me open to criticism and it is scary. However, to have a stranger criticise, I can ignore, but to have someone you know judge you is difficult.

But, I must remember that, not all if it is going to be criticism. Hopefully there is actually something there for people to like (not just the page).

So, for those who you who want to see what I am talking about, click here - My Facebook Page. I hope you will enjoy.

On another note, did you know that the word 'Facebook' has made it into spell check? I am being pulled up for my lack of capitals and for not making it the proper noun that it is! Shame on me.

Me & My Poems

So, I like to write little poems here and there...
